Benefit 2 –Back up when cards are forgotten Frequently cards are forgotten by the player or the team manager resulting in the player sitting out the game or returning home for the card With the mobile app a team manager will be able to pull the ID card from the server while at the field when cards are forgotten

Benefit 3 – Integration with the league management system Plastic ID cards have no integration with the leagues management system The mobile app is integrated with the leagues management system so important information can be displayed For example on this ID card the player is suspended for game 3088 For loaned players you can also see the current team that the player is registered with
